SEL Viewer

NOTE
The SEL Viewer task is available only on the local version of the SMU. This
task is not available when running the remote version of the SMU.
The SEL Viewer task allows the user to view the System Event Log. The SEL Viewer task
supports the following:
Viewing the BMC SEL
Saving a log to a file
Viewing a saved log file
Viewing the SEL properties
Clearing the BMC SEL
The SEL Viewer is started by clicking the SEL task in the task pane of the SMU. This task allows
the user to view the current system events logged in the SEL. Upon selecting the task, the entire
SEL is loaded. During the load process, a dialog displays the progress. You cannot interrupt this
process. After the load is completed the user will see a warning message displayed if the SEL is
full.
If the SEL is empty, the following message is displayed:
The SEL is empty, no records to display
After any messages have been dismissed, the user will see a page of events. This page contains
column headers and as many events that can fit on screen without using scroll bars. In order to
prevent long display strings from creating scrollbars in the SEL Viewer the list view restricts the
length of the following fields:
Sensor Type and Number to 20 characters
Event Description field to 30 characters
Generator ID field to 15 characters
